Legal Indemnity Insurance is a form of insurance that brings insurance solutions to legal issues that arise in the life cycle of residential and commercial property and real estate.
It is designed to protect and provide insurance against the risk of third party claims arising or challenges being made during the ownership or development of an asset.
